About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by Granville Health System regarding the replacement of a Deaerator (DA) tank system at its Central Energy Plant. The RFI seeks qualified mechanical contractors, boiler system specialists, and engineering firms to provide information and recommendations for the DA tank replacement project. The scope includes evaluation and replacement of the existing DA tank, potential feedwater pump replacement, associated piping, valves, controls, electrical and control system upgrades, structural support considerations, and system commissioning to integrate with two existing main boilers serving the hospital campus. Site visits are targeted for completion by May 1, 2026, with responses requested by May 8, 2026. Interested vendors should contact Jonathan Pernell, Facilities Director, at jpernell@granvillemedical.com or 919-691-0708, or Zeb Barnette, Project Manager, at zbarnette@granvillemedical.com or 336-504-0068 to coordinate on-site assessments.
Respondents must provide budgetary pricing structured to support immediate replacement, including rough order-of-magnitude costs for engineering and design fees, DA tank equipment, pumps, controls and accessories, installation labor, piping and mechanical modifications, electrical and controls integration, temporary system provisions, and commissioning and startup services. Submissions should include company information and primary contacts, relevant healthcare boiler plant and DA tank system experience, credentials and mechanical/engineering capabilities, recommended system approach with technical literature, equipment lead times and mobilization schedules, installation and phasing plans, maintenance and service offerings, preferred site visit dates, and detailed budgetary pricing. This RFI is for planning and information gathering purposes only, and no award will be made solely from this request.

Granville Health System Request for Information (RFI) Deaerator (DA) Tank Replacement — Central Energy Plant
1. Purpose Granville Health System is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to qualified mechanical contractors, boiler system specialists, and engineering firms regarding the replacement of the existing Deaerator (DA) tank system serving the hospital’s central energy plant.
Objectives of this RFI include:
Coordinate on-site vendor assessments with GHS representatives Obtain engineering recommendations for replacement of the existing DA tank system Understand installation requirements, phasing impacts, and operational considerations Gather budgetary pricing to support immediate replacement.
This RFI is for planning and information only. No award will be made solely from this request.
2. Project Scope Granville Health System intends to replace the existing DA tank, including evaluation and coordination with the current boiler plant.
Scope may include:
Replacement of existing Deaerator (DA) tank Evaluation and replacement of feedwater pumps (if required) Associated piping, valves, and controls Integration with existing boiler systems (two main boilers) Electrical and control system upgrades (as needed) Structural support, pad, or rigging considerations Insulation and system commissioning The DA Tank currently supports a closed-loop boiler feedwater system serving the hospital campus and returning to the central energy plant.
3. Requested Information

3.2 Compliance & System Standards
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code compliance National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) considerations Applicable state and local boiler/mechanical codes OSHA requirements for installation and operation
3.3 System Interface & Utility Requirements
Steam and condensate return integration requirements Water quality considerations and chemical treatment coordination Venting and exhaust requirements Blowdown and drainage requirements Electrical service requirements Control system integration with existing plant systems
3.4 Installation Requirements
Expected construction duration Phasing requirements to maintain boiler operation Rigging and access constraints within existing energy plant Measures for safety, noise control, and operational continuity
3.5 Service & Long-Term Maintenance
Warranty periods and coverage levels Recommended preventative maintenance (PM) programs Spare parts availability and lead times Expected lifecycle of system components
3.6 Budgetary Information
Provide rough order-of-magnitude pricing for:
Engineering and design fees DA tank equipment Pumps, controls, and accessories Installation labor Piping and mechanical modifications Electrical and controls integration Temporary system provisions (if required) Commissioning and startup All pricing should be structured to support immediate replacement.
4. Vendor Site Visits Review of existing DA tank and boiler plant Inspection of feedwater, condensate return, and piping systems Evaluation of mechanical room layout and access Identification of rigging and installation constraints Assessment of phasing limitations and operational risks Target Date for completed initial site visits: 5/1/2026 Contacts for coordination: Zeb Barnette, Jonathan Pernell
5. Response Format Company information and primary contacts Relevant experience with boiler plant / DA tank systems (healthcare preferred) Credentials, licensing, and mechanical/engineering capabilities Recommended system approach and configuration Technical literature or product data sheets Lead times for equipment and mobilization Installation approach and phasing plan Maintenance and service offerings Preferred site visit dates Budgetary pricing (design, labor, equipment, etc.)
6. Submission Deadline Responses requested by: 5/8/2026
